What are self-paced study courses?

  • Self-paced study courses are online courses that have no face-to-face or set meeting times.
  • Courses begin the first day of the semester with open registration, where students may enroll until 4 weeks prior to the published end date. 
  • Students complete units of coursework at their own pace and earn a grade by submitting all assignments by the course end date.
  • Self-paced classes are never cancelled due to low enrollment.
